I need to write something monumental
Anything
It doesn’t have to make sense.
I just have to create a piece of art that will change the world
I have to write a poem that will find a cure to cancer and aids
That will stop world hunger and buy a child in some third world country some clothes
I need to write something that will cause you to stand up and fight
Something that will cause you to care and that will cause you to think
Maybe I’ll write something that will cure your broken heart
Maybe I’ll write something that will cause you to lie down and fuck
Maybe it’ll cause you to get out and act
And do something besides just sit on your couch and bitch
For a small donation of all the spare change in your pocket you too can change the world
You can be a hero you can save this little girl
Guess you think you did your part
With all your 27cents and some pocket lint
You donated. . I guess you really do have a heart
But after this you’ll go back to your house
Sit on your couch and watch your TV
And that’s the end of your good deeds
Its easy to sit there and ignore what’s going on in the world
I mean look at you
With your big screen TV and your huge white SUV
What do you have to worry about
